Waiting on Wednesday {15}: The Lady is a Thief by Alissa Johnson

Waiting
On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine,
that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This
one looks good. And I do like it when the characters have a past. Plus, it’s a
Victorian romance and I’m really glad to see more of this era coming out.

The
Lady is a Thief

Alissa
Johnson

Release
Date: November 3, 2015

Years
ago, Owen Renderwell earned acclaim-and a title-for the dashing rescue of a
kidnapped duchess. But only a select few knew that Scotland Yard's most famous
detective was working alongside London's most infamous thief...and his
criminally brilliant daughter, Charlotte Walker.

Lottie
was like no other woman in Victorian England. She challenged him. She dazzled
him. She questioned everything he believed and everything he was, and he has
never wanted anyone more. And then he lost her.

Now
a private detective on the trail of a murderer, Owen has stormed back into
Lottie's life. She knows that no matter what they may pretend, he will always
be a man of the law and she a criminal. Yet whenever he's near, Owen has a way
of making things complicated...and long for a future that can never be theirs.
